The environment is a data structure as well, and if functions use prefixes you can find all functions with a particular prefix.

- tree_of_item 12y agoIf they use prefixes, which they might not. I agree that these should, in order to make this kind of programmatic environment manipulation possible. The fact that these don't have prefixes or some other regular distinguishing feature is a design flaw: you either have namespaces, or you commit to prefixing/suffixing/metadata attached to everything and document how it works. Although, `tcp-` and `window-` seem like they might be used in the way you expect.
